‘They are enemies of humanity with racist, fascist mind,’ says ruling party’s spokesman Zafer Fatih Beyaz and Burak Bir | 14.04.2021
ANKARA
Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party spokesman Omer Celik reacted to an anti-Islam tweet posted by far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilder.
“They are enemies of humanity with a racist and fascist mind. That is why enmity against humanity lurks where there is hostility to Islam,” Celik said on Twitter.
“Enemies of Islam also hate migrants, poor people, needy people and foreigners,” he added, referring to anti-migrant and racist rhetoric of far-right extremist parties and groups.
Ali Erbas, the head of the Presidency of Religious Affairs, condemned Wilders remarks as unacceptable.

Turkey Neutralizes 37 PKK Terrorists In Northern Iraq
Operation held in coordination with friendly, allied countries, targets carefully chosen, says National Defense Ministry. Turkish security forces neutralized four more PKK terrorists as part of its anti-terror operation in northern Iraq, raising the total number so far to 37, the National Defense Ministry said on Friday.
The terrorists were neutralized during Operation Claw-Eagle 2, launched on Wednesday in the Gara region.
Turkish authorities use the word neutralized to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
Earlier, the ministry said two senior members of the terror group were among the terrorists neutralized. Turkish security forces destroyed more than 50 terror targets during the campaign, as well.
